Bach at the Ball, on Sunday, April 15, 2012

     Intensive workshop taught by Catherine Turocy,

      of  The New York Baroque Dance Company

Early Music in Motion (EMIM) is sponsoring a special dance workshop for music teachers, focusing on Bach’s dance music. Ms. Turocy has designed a 3 hour dance workshop which will teach music teachers how to introduce the minuet, bourée and gigue to their young students.

Attendees will learn a warm-up movement based on the pulse, weight, flow and rhythm of the dance form. They will be introduced to the short-hand dance notation used in the 18th century for minuets and country dances. The class will close with a 20 minute session on how to use specific websites as teaching tools.

In addition, the workshop will be video-recorded, and a DVD of the video will be given to each participant.

This workshop is open to music teachers of all instruments. Dancers who wish to assist music teachers in co-operative projects, especially for end of year music or dance recitals, are also encouraged to attend.
